Patch is in and welded, sort of smooth, still lots to do.
Date: 09/05/05
Looks a bit better than it did, at least there are no gaping rust holes now.
Date: 09/05/05
After a scrape and grind, this is what I have, more to get off from there yet.
Date: 09/05/05
Same shit, different side lol
Date: 09/05/05
No vinyl, no glue, it even shines...sort of
Date: 09/05/05
Same thing, other side
Date: 09/05/05
Not looking forward to this part
Date: 09/05/05
Back on the road again, ready for the fourth Perth meet. Its nice to have it all in one piece.
Date: 07/06/05
Back on the roadStill have the rear pillars to do as well as the panel under the rear screen. My main concern was getting it sealed back up for winter.
